I was in the Embarcadero yesterday and had brunch at Bon Délire, a French bistro in Pier 3 that opened last October.
Eater blurb:
They have a “U” shaped bar and some outside seating. It’s not a huge restaurant.
Menus. They also have a board of daily specials but I didn’t get a picture.
BOULEVARDIER ZERO PROOF ($12)
Wilderton Bittersweet Aperitivo, Giffard Aperitif, house grapefruit cordial
I had a mock Boulevardier to drink, which was quite good - a little sweet and bitter.
6 oysters ($25)
cocktail sauce, lemon
And a half dozen oysters (I didn’t write down the variety), which were quite good and came with a mignonette and lemon.
Steak Frites w/Sauce Poivre ($38)
hanger steak
For brunch I had the steak frites, which featured an 8 oz hanger steak. There was also an option on the specials board to have it with a 12 oz New York steak for $52 IIRC. This was very good. There were two medallions of hangar steak with a pepper sauce that I think had a lot of butter in it. The hanger steak was on the more medium side of the medium rare that I requested, but was quite beefy as hanger steak is and also pretty tender, with a nice crust. The fries were also very good - thick with some of the skin on, and double fried and crispy on the outside with a tender interior.
A good option if you’re looking for French fare on the Embarcadero.
